Christmas, with its customary sports
and general rejoicing has passed off
quietly, and has brought to every one
more or less pleasure and happiness. The
old, as well as the young, have enjoyed
themselves by meeting around the festal
board of some neighbor, and after par
taking of bountiful repast. they would
discuss subjects of general interest per-
tanning to the farm and other rural mat
ters. The young people have acted in a
highly creditable manner also, by attend
ing social parties, dinners, musical enter
tainments etc., leaving off dancing in
almost every instance.
Your correspondent with other invited
guests, had the pleasure of attending q
family reunion at Mr.. W. D. Gray's during
the holidays. After feasting upon the
many good things of the season, We were
treated to some fine music, both vocal and
instrumental, by the young people pres
ent. At late hour we bid our generous
host and family adieu, wishing them
many returns of the happy occasion.

Miss Mamie Hardness, of the Storeville
section, has recently returned from Texas,
where she has been visiting relatives and
friends. She was accompanied by her
sister, Mrs. John Harper, who removed
tc 7exas several years ago. This is Mrs.
Re .per's first visit since she removed to
the Lone Star State, and it affords her
relatives and friends much pleasure to
welcome her back in their midst again.
She will spend several months with her
relatives and friends before returning to
her home in the west.
An itinerant Snowman, vino claims to
be an Indian, has been plying his voca-
ton in this, and the southern portion OF
the County for several months past. He
is accompanied by monkey, "coon"
and Magic Lantern outfit; lodging with
whites and colored with equal temerity
and complacency. This dual mode OF
living and acting, is an imposition upon
the better class of the community, and
should be stopped, and our social statue
maintained.
The year 1856 has gone. and it will be
long remembered for its floods, earth
quakes and other disasters. But like
Jenny Lind, the noted songstress, 1t makes
US sad to part with it, for 1t is like parting
with some old friend, and now, with sor-
row we bid it farewell, and with joy we
welcome the new. OMEGA

Rev. B. M. Pack will preach at Shiloh
next Sunday at II o'clock a. m. The
members are expected to be present, as
business of importance will be attended
to. Every one who can do so should be
present. Mr.. Pack is an entertaining and
earnest speaker.
Rev. A. M. Attawy, the new preacher
for the West Anderson Circuit, has moved
into the parsonage at Hollands Store, and
will preach his first sermon on next Sun
day at o'clock p. m. Rev. j. F. Ander-
son, the former pastor, carries the best
wishes of his congregation to his new
field of labor.
A man calling himself Wilson passed
through this neighborhood few weeks
ago peddling on sewing machines. He
sold one, or part Of one, and promised to
send the missing parts by mail, giving the
lady due bill and signing his name J. A.
Wilson. Well, to make a long story
short, Wilson has not been heard of since,
except that his name is not Wilson but
Thurkill, and that he lives at Fort Madi.
son, S. G. He certainly is rascal of the
first water, and We think that if Ananias
was alive to-day that he would turn the
cake over to Thurkill. He imposed on
every Que he came in contact with, and
the person who had the least to do with
him came out best. Our advice to every
one is the first thing to do for such an i'm
poster is to show him the road, and if he
fails to take the hint, hurry him up by
little shoe leather properly administered.
The Christmas holidays passed off qui-
etly. There was less drinking than any
previous year Of our recollection. Con-
siderable hunting was INDUCED in by the
Nimrods Of our community, bringing in
more or less game every day. Wild geese
haye been quite numerous on The Savan-
nah this winter, and furnished fine sport,
but few of them have been bagged.

chased in this County.
Mr.. J. T. G. Jones has bought lot at
Cross Roads Church and expects to erect
store at that point at an early day. Mr.
Jones has been running country store
for some years, and has been quite sue
cessful. He intends entering more large
ly in business at his new stand.
Our record for 1856 has closed, anu 1t is
a proper time to take a retrospective view
of the past. Have we done our duty?
Have we contributed to the joy of any
one? Have we solaced any one whose
future is more dark and rugged than our
own ? Have we given our time in man
ner that will reflect to our advantage?
One thing is certain, our eternal welfare
will be affected one way or the other by
what we have done and by what we have
not done in the year of 1886. God help us
all to do better in the year we are just en-
tering than in the one that has closed.

Mr.. ]. 8. Fowler, in addition to his
livery and sale business. has opened a
general grocery business in the INTELL1-
aENcER store room, on Whitner street,
where be can supply family groceries at
the cheapest rates, and also stock food of
every kind. He delivers goods to pur-
ehasers in any part of the city. He also
sells buggies, carriages, wagons and har-
ness. He is one Of the most progressive
and successful of Anderson's business
men, and we have no doubt that he will
succeed admirably in his new business.
About twenty of Anderson's young
snent the holidays away from home,
the majority of them, we presume, put
ting in their time courting. All of them
express themselves as having had most
pleasant time. Since their return home
they have spent the evenings trying to
drive away the "blues" by giving in their
experiences. One says the ''old man"
put him to milking the COWS, another
says he fed the horses and made fires, and
another says he proved clearly to his pros
pective mother-in-law that he was good
nurse, as he nursed the baby frequently
while she was busy with her household
duties.

Motion for a New Trial.

Attorney Rowan made an argument
lasting a trife over three hours yesterday
on the motion for a new trial in the
Trumble case. One of the principal errors
alleged was the fact that Miley was not
the murdered mans name, as was stated
in the indictment. 1t was noted in the
course of the trial that Trumble stated
that he did not know Chas. Miley, but
knew the dead man by another name.
Several spectators thought at the time
that Trumble had previously been ac-
quainted with Miley elsewhere and had
killed him for reasons best known to him
self. This is hardly probable, however
as the prisoner has lived in this country
for many years, while Miley was a strang-
er. Trumble listened to the lengthy
speech of his attorney and exhibited no
nervousness Beyond occasionally twirling
his moustache. Judge Peck, Rowqn's CO.
laborer in the case, will be heard to-day.

AN UNTIRING THIEF.
Carr Identified as the Man who Bur-
glarIzed Fred hoyt's Room.

Carr, alias James Jones, is probably the
most industrious burglar who ever visited
this section of country. Soon after his
incarceration in the county jail for the
larceny of Hattie Hammond's watch from
that lady's room on Sixteenth street it
was learned hat he was undoubtedly the
same individual who so thoroughly cleaned
out Herman Haas safe recently, and a
silver watch and amethyst set gold ring
belonging. to the implement dealer were
found in the pawnshop of E. Berger,
where they had been pledged for small
amounts.
1t was known that Carr had a trunk
and valise concealed somewhere about the
city, and the officers have been diligently
searching for them ever since the robbers
arrest, and yesterday afternoon the trunk
was found at Leighton's hotel and identi-
fed by an expressman as part of the
baggage he had transferred for Carr.
The receptacle was taken to the city
hall and opened. 1t was completely filed
with stolen articles of clothing, etc, among
which was a crooked" brace such as is
used only by burglars and workmen who
repair safes. This tool could not be ident-
flied by any blacksmith or hardware dealer
in town, and is undoubtedly a portion of
the outfit regularly used by Carr in blow
ing safes, for that and other thieving is
tho nrispnar'S pnonnotion
About June ~ Fred Hoyt, who drives
the delivery wagon for Wilcox's bakery,
and rooms corner of Bent and Nineteenth
strets, had occasion to be about town in
the evening, and when he returned home
at 10 O'Clock noticed that almost his en-
tire wardrobe had disappeared during his
absence. He was called in yesterday and
shown the contents of Cars trunk.
Among the miscellaneous collection of
wearing apparel he was able to recognize
two suits of clothes, a hat, pair of cuff
buttons, overooat and several other articles
which had been stolen FROM his room.
There is still unclaimed a United States off.
GERS overcoat and a pair of opera glasses.
A fur cap was claimed by A. r. johnson,
who said it was stolen from the Inter
Ocean hotel.
There is already enough evidence to
convict Carr, and probably much more
could be presented were his valise discov-
cred and his partners apprehended, for it
is scarcely possible that one man has
been unable to accomplish unaided the
thetts in which the prisoner was doubt
lessly implicated.

SHOT HIMSELF.
VIM. Miersen Killed by the Acct
dental Discharge of a Gun.
Endures Terrible Pain for Nine
Hours Before Expiring.
The Full Particulars of a Sad and
Fatal Accident.

VIM. Miersen, a German butcher,
aged % years, was fatally wounded
by the accidental discharge of a
so caliber rifle at John Smiths slaughter
house west of own Yesterday afternoon.
A representative of THE LEADER visited
the injured man at the hospital yesterday
and from his pale and trembling lips
learned the particulars of the affair. In
answer to the reporters question: "How
do you feel, are you suffering from the
pain2' Miersen responded smilingly in
broken English, impossible to initiate in
print: well L feels pretty good for a
man who has Just had a bullet take an
excursion through his interior, and then
proceeded to relate the circumstances of
his misfortune. 1t appears that he was
standing on a platform over a portion OF
the corral known as the Strengthening pen,
and after selecting the steer which he
wished to kill, had stopped to secure the
gun, which lay with the muzzle toward
himself. AS he raised the firearm he OBJ
served that the hammer caught on a por-
ton of the flooring, and by a quick move
ment erected his body in order to olsen
gage the hammer of the gun.
His efforts were useless, however,
and the weapon was discharged
almost instantly after he had first touched
it. The ball entered Miersen's body at a
point in the abdomen just below the left
of the navel, and ranged downward. En-
counterlng the muscles in that portion Of
his body the course of the missile was
changed and it emerged upwardly from
his left thigh. A boy who witnessed the
accident informed some men who hap
pened to be working in that locality, and
the helpless man was at once brought to
the city and placed in a ward at the
county hospital, where his wounds were
dressed by DIR. Marston and Chas. Will
seek, stewart of the establishment. For
some time after the accident Miersen bled
p~rotusely, which was regarded as a favor
able symptom by the physicians in attend
ance. He was sober and industrious and
has many friends about town.
AT 9 o'clock last night the unfortunate
man began to sink rapidly. He became
unconscious and the death pallor spread
over his face. At 1915 o'clock the spirit
of VIM. Miersen left its human habita-
ton and the wounded body is all that now
remains of the quiet German who has
moved noiselessly among his Cheyenne
companions for the past two years. De-
ceased was born In Germany ard has no
relatives in this country. Chas. Wilseck,
the hospital steward, will communicate
with the dead mans relatives to day. The
funeral will probably occur Tomorrow.

Flood at Little Bear.

From Bard's ranch on the Little Bcar
comes the intelligence that the country in
that vicinity was flooded by a cloud burst
last Saturday. Bear creek was a rushing
torrent 200 feet wide. The labor of years
on bitches, dams and fumes was destroyed
in an instant. Mr.. Bard says: an a
meadow where there was a good crop Of
grass waving there is now a foot OF
gravel Mr.. Parker lost thirty chickens
from a wagon and narrowly escaped being
drowned himself. |. N. Bard's ranch
was damaged to the extent of $500,
while DIR. Carey, whose ranch is on Horse
creek, had several costly dams washed
away.

A POSING
Even a hurc Cannot BE Run on Less
Than Its Current Expenses.

The Rev. r. Z. Field, in his Sunday
morning sermon in the Presbyterian
church, took up for consideration the
condition of the worldly exchequer. 1t
appears that the annual expenses OF the
church are 81, ZOO. OF this amount $500
a year is secured from the rent of the
parsonage and 800 from the plate collec-
tons, leaving $4,000 a year, or $3.50 a
month, to be raised by subscriptions
amongst the members ofthe congregation.
About $50 was regularly contributed to
this fund by one family, but this and
some other subscriptions, amounting in
all to about 800 a month, had been with
drawn because of removal from the city,
or for some other reasons that were
equally satisfactory. The present church
revenues amount to 81, 400 a year, and
the problem with which Mr.. Field con-
tronted his congregation was how to sue
cessfully run a $40 church on 81, 400.
1t was decided hat it couldn't be done.
The matter of securing an assured $3.50 a
month was taken in hand at once and
liberal responses received. 1t is now an
nounced that the amount sought has
been secured, and financially the Presby-
terrain church again swims in a summer
sea of glory.

and Yesterday, among whom were several
female denizens of the west end and a
delegation Of Mattresses from a leading
hotel. One of the latter shed tears larger
than chcstnuts upon beholding Ivan. -
The young man was seen by u reporter
yesterday afternoon and asserted that he
was g~uiltless of any attempt to deiraud
Smith & Harrington and that he expected
to be released in a few days at most. lie
